About Shake Shack and Shake Shack Canada
Shake Shack opened its first location in 2004 in New York City's Madison Square Park and has grown to more than 700 locations around the world. Its first Canadian restaurant opened in Toronto in 2024.
Shake Shack Canada was formed in 2023 as a partnership between two Canadian-based private investment companies, Osmington Inc. and Harlo Entertainment Inc., with plans to open at least 35 locations across the country. Before Burlington, the brand had eight restaurants in Ontario, including locations at Vaughan Mills, Yorkdale Shopping Centre, and Square One Shopping Centre in Mississauga. Burlington joins Oakville in the 2026 openings, and a London location is planned for 2027.
Will There Be a Drive-Thru?
Not in Burlington, as far as has been announced. The company's first Ontario drive-thru will be at its planned London restaurant, which is scheduled for 2027.
